I bought my charger 2 years ago on here. I traced the history and owners back to 1978. It was Tim Fennel’s car which he had imported. Reg DMT 194V. It’s had 7 other owners since and a few colour changes. Here’s a photo of the car from 78. Not sure who the other guys are but they were taking the air con pump off in this picture if that rings any bells... he told me that he started the club with this car!

I was Steve that started the Brighton run i think.
I had a 1968 Dodge Coronet at the time and Tim and Garry had Chargers i still have a couple of the mags that Steve Gorrange printed around 1984
Fascinating, thanks Dave :thumbright:

Didn't Les Szabo also own that red Charger Del? I'd put money on him being one of the guys under the bonnet...

Gary mills charger he crashed and he scrapped it. I had the dashboard and fitted it In the coronet
Now days we would have repaired it but they were not with it then
It was originally a 318 car but he put a 340 in it
